Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
Last night at Southland Greyhound Park and Casino, at a 1/2NL table after multiple hands of two people openly stating what cards they have and checking the hands down, the lady says...
"I never bet with two people in a hand. Three people in a hand, of course, but with only two people in the hand, its just stupid. No one ever wins when there are only two people. The only winner is the casino." I had to cover my face before I LOL'd.

Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
ROF! Amazing thread. I've been told before at the casino by the old fogeys who have played the game for 50-60 years and still can't play good that it is impolite to be bluffing. I just kinda laugh and ignore the idiocy.
Also, about a month ago at the casino I overheard a guy rambling about poker before the start of a donkament. He said something like, "mate, if i ever have an open ender on the flop or turn there is no chance i'm folding that". I almost piped up and told him he's an idiot, but I think it is better for the fishies to learn the hard way.

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I am not convinced that the optimal strategy would be calling and going all-in on the river if lady doesn't improve. I didn't see anything bad with going all-in on the turn. Comments anyone? [/ QUOTE ] Obviously it depends what she does on the turn. However I think that calling is clearly a better play than raising all in on the flop since its painfully obvious that the woman intends to call all in on this hand no matter what. [/ QUOTE ] I hate to promote strategy talk in what's been the most-enjoyable thread of the month, but AK vs. AT on Axx flop...AT flips her hand face-up and will call no matter what I bet? [cellphone]"Honey...can we take out a second mortgage before this woman calls the clock on me?"[/cellphone] If you wouldn't push here...either I missed something or you hate moneys. [/ QUOTE ] Shes going to call you AT ANY POINT IN THE HAND. YOu have position. Why would it not be beneficial to see what comes on the turn/river before committing yourself?

Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
I have 2 favourites:
1 - "I think that if cards are worth playing for $5 preflop they're worth playing for $500!" This old guy genuinely meant that a hand was either playable or unplayable, with no regard to betting amounts. 2 - Listening to a guy earnestly explaining to the attractive woman next to him how and why the chance of hitting a draw varies depending on how many people dealt into the hand. Classic.

While you were at it, did you give him your wallet, and let him [censored] your wife? [/ QUOTE ] QFT! I almost fell off my chair laughing at that one! BAHA!

Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
Today at the Mirage Poker Showdown $2500+100 NLHE event first level:
"I folded queens pre-flop knowing that they were the best hand because I didn't want to be up against some hand like AJ." None of us asked for further explanation. He busted fhortly thereafter with some goofy POS pre-flop like 85o. Yes, they even say that [censored] in high stakes settings. Loving this thread. Devo

Re: The Worst Strategy You\'ve Overheard at a Table
I'm taking a couple days off. The worst part is it, it came after one of my best sessions, where I was making more than $100/hr - playing 4/8!
